conservatism is dead, though

all the power on the right is concentrated on a spectrum from rabid nationalists to straight up neo-nazis.

free market, social conservatives are being rolled by protectionist, xenophobic nationalists and they have no idea what to do about it.

coincidentally the same thing is happening to the centre-left by socialists and they are possibly even more clueless about how to stop it.

OK I do you good deal. I will tell the Australian public that we want to multiply national debt tenfold overnight and you can put them all against a wall and shoot them when they say no.
see this is why i prefer a plan where we put the mining execs against the wall. an easier sell imo

Something I don't get - Latham tried saying that he didn't mean 'gay' as a pejorative when he got fired, but with the launch of his new... whatever... he's using gay as a pejorative a few times. Can anyone explain what appears to be an inconsistency in his behaviour?

I wonder who, historically speaking, has been more effective in the use of violence to settle political disputes: Hardcore fascists or comfortably middle class progressives? I don't think the punch a Nazi crowd really grasp the end game of legitimising​ violence as a part of the political discourse...

you're right the incel anime nazis are too powerful to physically confront

The decision to bench the freelance newsreader and producer comes from the same broadcaster widely criticised for the more serious charge of failing to vet the audience of its panel program, Q&A and allowing one-time terror suspect Zaky Mallah to join the live TV debate.

Given the sheer number of ANZSCO codes it's highly likely that almost all of the removed occupations fall under a slightly differently-worded occupation that is still allowed.

Almost like the goal of the project is to be seen to do something while not actually doing anything.

the perception among younger workers that the older generation are competition for increasingly scarce employment and advancement opportunities.
it's cool that this is dismissed as a false perception without being addressed at all. who knew, turns out there are infinite employment opportunities and the only reason we have record youth unemployment is because of the lazy millennials :)

Well I mean if you don't want to be called a nazi apologist, I guess don't support a guy who at best has been complicit in allowing anti-semitism to have a platform around his politics.

This isn't some bizarro idea, anti-semitism is unfortunately alive within left-wing circles (looking at your, SAlt), so youwill get some pushback if you start spouting poo poo views

In fairness, you could absolutely consider their whole prison camp "take three generations of your family" system genocidal. There are scholarly definitions of genocide that don't limit it specifically to ethnic groups and refer instead to classes or groups of people, in which case yeah, it absolutely is genocidal.

I mean yeah the idea that North Korea is in any way a serious threat to Australia is laughable, but it isn't a huge stretch to accuse it of being genocidal.

my personal feeling is that 'family members of perceived traitors' is not well-defined enough as a group to really meaningfully use the term genocide; i can't really explain why i feel that way though.
